GASOLINE-TANK FOR GASOLINE STREET-LAMPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 359,621, dated'IVIarch 22, 1887.

' Application filed September 9, 1885. Serial No. 176,549. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JAMns MOYER and JOHN C. MORGAN, citizens of the United States, residing at Alliance, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gasoline-Tanks for Feeding Gasoline-Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

Said invention relates to the formation of a supplemental chamber in connection with a tank, and in fixing said tank on trunnions in such manner that said tank may be turned to one side and said chamber filled, as shown by the dotted lines in the drawings, and thus gage the amount ofgasoline for a single burning.

Said invention also relates to a means for elevating said tank at one end, so as to empty a portion of the fluid from said chamber, it it be desired to burn at one time less than the full of said chamber.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

size for holding sufficient gasoline for a single burning.

D is a tube running from said supplemental chamber to the burner g.

The operation of our invention may be de P scribed as follows: The operator takes hold of the stem or tube D and turns the said tank to one side, as shown by the dotted lines 71. By this means the said fluid passes through the opening shown at g and fills said supplemental chamber, when. said tube is lowered and said tank brought to its normal position.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the main reservoir provided with trunnions and supports for the same, in which the main reservoir is mounted on said trunnions, a supplemental reservoir connected with the maiureservoir and-communicating with the same at or near the top,

and-a burner and tube connected to the supplemental reservoir.
